Union – Lyrics

Get the song

Music by: Brodén / Text by: Brodén / Sundström

As a turn of the tideIt is our turn to riseThe force of a union at warMarch over the mountainsOn our way to the northOn the road that will lead us to RomeOur way will not be easyIt will take us through hardship and painHill after hill breaking their line of defenseHead at north

Mile after mile our march carries onNo army may stop our approachFight side by sideMany nations uniteAt the shadow of Monte CassinoWe fight and die togetherAs we head for the valley of deathDestiny callsWe’ll not surrender or fail

To arms!Under one bannerAs a unit we standAnd united we fall –As one fighting togetherBringing the end to the slaughterWinds are changingHead at north!

Historic fact:

The Battle of Monte Cassino was a series of four Allied assault against the Winter Line in Italy during World War two. Between the 17th of January and the 18th of May 1944, Monte Cassino was raided four times by the Allies. The last assault involved twenty division attacking along a 20 mile front. The German defenders were driven from their positions but at the high cost of 55’000 allied casualities against 20’000 Germans killed. (Text credits: Gregory Sandoz)
